SINFUL SNICKERS CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Prepare crust: Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cover the bottom of a 10-inch spring-form pan tightly with aluminum foil.
• Using a food processor, finely crush all the Oreo cookies.
• Add melted butter, water and sugar to the cookie crumbs and continue using processor until the mixture is well blended.
• Turn this cookie mixture out into the spring-form pan and using your fingers, gently work the cookie mixture until the bottom of the pan is covered with about one inch up on the sides.
• Bake for only 6 or 7 minutes, no longer or the crust will be too hard.
• It is okay if the crust rises a little during the baking-- if this occurs, use the flat bottom of a glass to gently press down and set aside to cool.
• Prepare filling: Using a large bowl and an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until it is light and fluffy.
• When cream cheese is fluffy, add in one egg and mix well.
• Add second egg and mix well.
• Add in sour cream and sugar.
• Remove electric mixture to gently fold in the Nestle' chocolate chips and chopped Snickers candy bars.
• Pour batter onto the crust and spread the mixture out from the middle to all the sides to help it bake evenly.
• Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and place spring-form pan in middle and bake at 375F for about 45 minutes, or until top is light brown.
• It's ok if the middle of the cheesecake is sunk in a little.
• Transfer the cheese cake to a rack and cool while still in the spring-form pan.
• Lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the cheesecake and refrigerate (still in spring-form pan) for at least four hours or more- overnight is best.
• Prepare glaze: Melt chocolate chips, butter and only 1/3 of the heavy whipping cream in a double boiler over medium heat until just at the melting stage.
• Remove from heat and stir mixture until smooth.
• (You can use a microwave for this part but ensure the bowl is microwave safe).
• While still warm, stir in remaining heavy whipping cream and mix until well blended.
• Using a sharp paring knife, run is around the edges of the spring-form pan to gently separate the cheesecake from the pan sides.
• Release the spring-form and remove from the cheesecake.
• Place cheesecake on serving dish and pour the chocolate glaze into the shallow crater.
• Sprinkle crushed peanuts or extra Snickers shavings on top.
• Refrigerate to allow the glaze to set.

SNICKERS CAKE

Steps:

• Bake the devil's food cake as directed on the box, in a 13 x 9" pan.
• While cake is baking, combine the sweetened condensed milk and most of the jar of caramel ice cream topping. (reserve a bit back for the topping).
• When the cake is done, remove from oven, and poke holes in it, using a fork or straw. Immediately pour the sweetened condensed milk - caramel mixture on top so it can soak into the cake.
• Cool cake completely.
• Top cake with semi sweet chocolate chips.
• In a well chilled bowl, using chilled beaters, whip the 2 cups of whipping cream, powdered sugar and the vanilla into whipped cream, about 1-3 minutes on high. Gently stir in the chopped Snickers Bar pieces. Spread over cake.

SLIGHTLY LESS SINFUL SNICKERS CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Cover bottom of 10" springform pan with parchment, grease parchment and sides of pan (can spray, if you prefer).
• Using a food processor, finely crush Oreos, add melted butter, process until mixed.
• Use a fork to press into the greased pan, pressing up the sides slightly.
• Bake for 6 minutes. Set aside.
• Prepare filling: Using a large bowl and electric mixer, beat cream cheese until it is light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well in between.
• Add sour cream and sugar, mix well.
• Take 2 Snickers bars and cut into 1/4 inch slices. Reserve 14 slices, separate and put on a plate in the fridge.
• Coarsly chop all remaining snickers bars.
• Gently fold in the mini chips and chopped snickers. Pour into pan, over the baked crust. Return to oven for about 50 minutes. It should be very lightly browned.
• In order to prevent cracking you need to change temperatures slowly. Here's what works for me. Turn the oven off, set timer for 5 minutes. After timer goes off, rollup a hotpad and use it to crack the oven door open. Set timer for another 5 minutes. Open oven door a little more and set the timer for another 5 minutes. Pull out cheesecake and sit on a wire rack. After 10 minutes or so, run a sharp knive around the inside of the springform pan. You can spring the pan after you do this. Allow it to fully cool just like this.
• Prepare glaze: Melt chocolate chips (mini or regular), butter and just a little of the half and half. in the microwave or use a double boiler. If using the microwave stir every 30 seconds. Chocolate chips melt but keep their shape, so they are deceiving to the eye. Stir until smooth, use your judgement as to how much of the cream you want to use. Smooth glaze over the top of the cheesecake, place your refrigerated cut Snickers pieces over the cake as decoration, garnish with chopped peanuts, if desired.
